I don't know the name of the piece, or the artist, if that's what you mean. If you meant to say, why'd I pay to stare at it - I think it's because it encourages me to try to understand visual tension.
What artsy-fartsy site have you been reading?
The kind that you're lifetime blocked from commenting on.
Ok, k, how'd you say it? No. Really. Sincerity, now. If you can explain that collection of pixels to MY brain, and I'm willing to giveit a try, why not? Don't scowl. I know I'm an asshat. So, why not prove I'm an incurable one?
Because explaining what happens in my brain when I interpret Portuguese into English requires the person I'm explaining the translation process to, to be capable of thinking in - in, analogies. Which you're about to prove with a question.
I didn't know you could speak a foreign language! You speak Portuguese? Ohh. Z'a joke. Now wha'd I say?
The background contains a smudge of clouds, tree branches in varied states of fall, and a shadowed window frame above a rain-stained sill. Close-up. Jewelers block behaving as pedestal for an onyx sculpture, all balanced upon a white near-sphere. The gravity is being. . .
. . .Being shown! These real pixels show, in an abstract concept selfie way, what the abstract concept of 'gravity' looks like to my Portuguese-to-English translation subprogram.
And the me you're talking to right now, understands it so well, that it thinks,"It's so obvious, of course it's gravity!" That vibration causes tension behind my eyes because I think, "nobody understands gravity," and then I see this picture depicting gravitational results and I think to myself, "Cept this artist who hates, probably hates, the phrase artsy-fartsy."
